Feels like I'm behind the glass

Watching all the pretty pictures pass

You may think I'm crazy

Others think I'm lazy

What am I to do?

Just sit here and wait for you?!

Something must be done

Maybe I'll call someone

Who is to know what the future holds

I'm not gonna wait 'till the bread molds

Find something to do

Steal away to Timbuktu

Cure the loneliness inside my heart

Treat depression with some art

Walk down halls that define me

Up to closed doors with no key

In my jar is where I'll be found

Forever hopeful, I am bound.
